MOSELEY slumped to their sixth defeat in the last seven games with a performance littered with errors and poor discipline at Billesley Common.

Their good start to the season is beginning to evaporate as the Red and Blacks tread water and teams over-take them to leave them on the fringes of another relegation battle.

The Plymouth game gave driving mauls in the corners a starring role and in the third minute they turned down a kickable penalty for a ball into the corner. Moseley held that one off but in the 14th minute Tom Hayes came up from the base of a maul to go over and Ross Laidlaw converted.

Moseley battled their way back with prop Nathan Williams battering a hole in the Albion defence for winger Ollie Winter to be stopped inches short, but second-row Richard Stott was there to finish it off. Fly-half Greg Macdonald missed the kick.

With 10 minutes to go before the break Albion were awarded a somewhat fortunate penalty for offside and this time took the three points.

Then quick ball in a multi-phase move allowed Nicolas Sesaret to go over in the corner and Laidlaw added the extras.

Plymouth's Ben Gulliver was yellow-carded just before the break for persistent fouling but Moseley could not take advantage of the extra man and were down to 14 themselves when prop Terry Sigley was sent for a spell in the bin.

Lost possession then gave Aaran Cruickshanks the chance to go over for an unconverted try.

Moseley had some good ball but poor discipline and an inability to win their own line-out meant they never made anything of it until they managed to put a move together just after the hour and centre Jack Adams went in for an unconverted try.

Albion then battered away at the Moseley line, eventually winning a penalty try which Laidlaw converted, and that gave them a bonus point.
